Donald Stephenson was the first player from the class of 2007 to give an early commitment to the Kansas Jayhawks. Now it appears that the 6-foot-6, 275-pound offensive tackle from Central High School in Kansas City, Mo., has had a change of heart. Stephenson is still very interested in KU, but he has decided to take a step back and will now consider all of his options.

According to the Kansas City, Mo., big man, this was an extremely difficult decision to make. Stephenson has a great relationship with the coaching staff at Kansas. However, in order to make the best possible decision, Stephenson felt that it would be best to take a step back and consider all of his options, which also include Kansas State and Missouri.
